Unless I'm completely misunderstanding you.

I think you got things perfectly.

What I'm saying is...as far as I can find via the Admin CP...there's no installed plugin product that's implementing the sidebar blocks on non-Home Page pages.

Because of this...my theory is someone in the past may have added some code directly to one of the templates which is implementing the sidebar blocks on non-Home Page pages.

This code may be similar to what the "Sidebar Anywhere" plugin uses...except whomever did it...may have inserted the code directly into a template rather than via a plugin.

What I was hoping to learn via this thread...was what the most likely template that would have been. Maybe this sidebar block code is inserted in the same template as "Sidebar Anywhere" uses...I just don't know what template(s) that is. Lol

Thanks

p.s. I'll give the FORUMDISPLAY template a close look...maybe I'll get lucky...and that's where it's located.

Made some progress. Turns out someone made a custom template called "sidebar"...also when I look at the FORUMDISPLAY template...I see references to "sidebar"...which would seem to indicate this is how the sidebar blocks I'm interested in are getting onto the 2nd level of the website.

Now I'm thinking I would probably like to install the "Sidebar Anywhere" plug-in...but I'm also thinking it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to remove any references to this custom "sidebar" template so there's less chance of conflicts between the custom "sidebar" template & the operation of the "Sidebar Anywhere" plugin.

Does this make sense...and if so...what would be the best way to get rid any references to this custom "sidebar" template? Is it as easy as simply deleting the custom "sidebar" template...or if I do this...will it mess up the FORUMDISPLAY template?

Thanks
